A Comparison of Methods for Testing for Interaction Effects in Structural Equation Modeling
Weiss, Brandi A. - 2010
The current study aimed to determine the best method for estimating latent variable interactions as a function of the size of the interaction effect, sample size, the loadings of the indicators, the size of the relation between the first-order latent variables, and normality. Data were simulated...
